Help us distribute free vegan food samples one the University of Minnesota. We’ll show people just how tasty vegan food can be!
We need volunteers at various times from about 7am to 5pm that day. Sign up now!
We especially need volunteers between 10am and 2pm, while the food is being distributed, but we could also use help before or after the event for setup or cleanup. You can RSVP on the Facebook event page and invite your friends to join us.
Food giveaways are among our most fun and effective outreach programs.
